I had a couple of days early on when taking celexa when I felt a horrible combination of being agitated, anxious and (even more) depressed. I'm sure it was caused by the medication. Luckily this feeling was transient and the antidepressant effect kicked in after 12-14 days.
I think the answer is to build up the dose gradually to the prescribed level.I did this when starting a second period on the drug and didn't have this bad side effect.
Best wishes,
Carper
